We discussed this on FB the other day.  Wife of a soldier said there's much worse than that going on and the military is treating it as not interfering with another "culture" vs forcing "our ways" on them.

I think its sick and we should pull every bit of help away from every country in the middle east.

But that's not a popular opinion.
